Art Show and Sale
Singer-Songwriter Cathasaigh
This year marks the fourth year that TSI has held its art show and sale. In years past, we have worked with the Steel Valley Arts Council and exhibited in their ArtSpace105 in Homestead. Those years were very exciting for the agency as well as the exhibiting artists. TSI has created lasting relationships with other organizations who we continue to work with on other projects. 2010 is a new year, and with that, we are starting a new chapter in the show’s history.
We are taking the energy of an opening night reception and putting it into one 3-hour event. The art will be displayed at the Carnegie Library of Homestead and the surrounding grounds. Accompanying the art exhibit will be a performance by folk musician, singer and songwriter, Cathasaigh. A family art station set up in adjacent Kennedy Park will entertain kids both old and new.
Those attending the exhibit will vote on their top three favorite works of art and an awards ceremony and reception will close the event. All work exhibited will be for sale, with the proceeds going directly to the artist.
It is anticipated that we will reach a broad audience and grow the appeal of the show, and reach out to the neighborhood of Homestead PA.
The 4th Annual Art Show and Sale will be underway from 2 – 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 16, 2010. Contact Jen Mullins, Community Support Program Supervisor, for more information at 412-462-1525 ext. 224 or via email at jmullins@transitionalservices.org.
